I will have to assume you are referring to me in the absence of any other welshman renaging on the chilli promise.Originally Posted by dirtydog
I have decided that Tuesday would be a very good day for chilli as I shall be entertaining my mother and her boyfriend.
By the way, Penang looks like a right dump, is it as dumpy as it looks or are there some nice bits??
Well nice bits are a bit difficult, but they do have some tourist attractions that are millions of years old, well they do have Penang hill, I shall be posting about that at a later date also they now have a good disco area where you can pull the birds, well obviously welsh men that cant cook chili cant but us normal guys can
You obviously didn't take a peek at my Penang thread. I did the more upmarket places while DD did the low end stuff. Teamwork you see.Originally Posted by ChiangMai noon
I also went past some nice upmarket places Here is the Passage Thru India, it's a 2 storey restaurant and looks pretty damn classy, shame I didn't have the time to eat there though
Address,
132 Penang Road, 10000 Penang.
Phone, 04- 262 0263
Next up we hit some more upmarket places, this is the S3 Bistro and there are a chain of them in Malaysia, I am not sure of the name of the street here, but you need to goto the end of Penang road away from the Komtar building, ie the Hotel Continental end, from there you will see a pedestrianised road with loads of signs for bars and that, this is where all the hiso Malays go out pulling the birds.
This place was real classy, we ate upstairs, all plush furniture, lots of malay couples with laptops on the tables, ie his and hers laptops, I just couldn,t imagine going on a date and your date brings her laptop.
Anyway as you can see the food is as cheap as chips.
I have to admit to starting eating this before I thought of taking a picture, this was pretty damn good, spicey meatballs, bacon, shrimps, egg etc etc etc .

Quick stop off for a beer at the Shamrock House, this place is just off the pedestrianised area and on the main road, nice place but hardly buzzing, got to admit I do like the choice of beers in Penang though.
I went for a pint of Skol, although I don't recall ever drinking it before in the UK but it was quite nice
This is the first place you come to on crossing the road, it all seemed to be open air, as the weather was so muggy I needed aircon so I gave this place a miss.
By this time I was getting a tad typsy, so whether or not Carls place was any good or not will have to be answered by someone else
Now this place was quite good, downstairs was a bar and dance floor, upstairs the old karaoke, 38 ringit for a big jug of beer.
Also they had a toilet with a bum sprayer in, got to admit I didn't risk using it as the water pressure may have given me an enema.

The place also has a few young ladies to help you out with your singing.
On both my visits to Penang I ate at the Kenny Rodgers Roaster.
If you read my thread, you'll know that Coco's is an indoor place and the other bar is the Uptown Bistro. 'Carl's' is the name of a local beer.Originally Posted by dirtydog
How much did that Skol cost DD. The Beamish was about 27 Ringot!!

this thread is very helpful. i have been to penang several times and never found some of these places. i'm looking forward to returning.
Yup I dont even need to go there for a visa, but I am feeling the need to get down there again. Perhaps stop there for a couple of days on the way to Cameron Highlands to beat the heat and play a little golf.
Some of these places have only been open for a few weeks (the places next to Coco's & Hotel Continental).Originally Posted by obsidian
I am not sure how much the skol was, maybe 10 ringit or so.
Now this place is where it is at.
Slippery Senoritas,
This is the entrance for a big bar and disco complex.
I was here quite early so they werent really open yet, but a few of them let me in to take some pictures after I explained it was for Teakdoor
This video was taken inside the place, It's like a village of shophouses, some have been knocked thru to make big discoes and some are small bistro type places, it is all really nicely done out and I think in the future will give Soho pub a run for it's money, although now the Soho Pub has expanded to the second floor aswell.
This is another club in the complex, they were testing out the smoke machines, alas the bouncers banned us and said fok teakdoor, seems they don't allow pics anyway don't goto this one
I had some great food at a Chinese place, although I don't know where I was. But I had a huge plate of scallops and another of Ostrich, or there is another name for those large birds, I fogot, with vegs, and rice and tea or whatever, for I think about $12 USD.
I didn't really like the city, but really liked this restaurant. I ate Indian food too, but found it pretty expensive, but I did eat at a place on a main street and didn't look around much or make it into the the Indian area proper, only the edge. I think I paid about $20 USD for veg only food, and only for one person, no alcohol.
